They did name it Kindle

As you may have learned from a previous post, a few of us at DGLM are fans of xkcd. This comic that ran the other day really tickled my funny bone.

But it also made me wonder: in this age of digital media, what will be the equivalent of book burning or record smashing (I guess this one has been CD smashing for a while)? How will outraged preachers and parents show their disapproval?

Haha! I've heard suggestions for how to get books signed (i.e. somehow creating a space in the book that the author could sign, sort of the way you sign for packages these days), but how on earth will we destroy bytes and pixels?

In all likelihood, though, it will probably be like *Jen* said: electronic protests. Petitioning libraries, etc. Not nearly as fun (and still a hassle for those of us in the library profession).
